NXT North American Championship :

Trick Williams captured his first title, the NXT North American Championship, on September 30, 2023, by defeating "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio at NXT No Mercy. Just two days later, he made a highly anticipated debut on Raw as the new champion. However, his reign was short-lived as he lost the title back to Dominik on October 3, 2023, during an episode of NXT. This brief tenure marked the shortest reign in the history of the North American Championship.

NXT Championship :

Trick Williams' feud with Carmelo Hayes started with a dramatic turn of events when Williams was ambushed backstage, forcing him out of action. This setback allowed Hayes to seize opportunities in NXT, escalating tensions between them. Their rivalry intensified, culminating in a high-stakes steel cage match at NXT Stand & Deliver, where Williams emerged victorious, bringing an end to their heated feud.

Following this victory, Williams boldly challenged the NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov, risking his NXT career in the process. On April 23, 2024, at Spring Breakin', Williams achieved a career-defining moment by defeating Dragunov and capturing his first NXT Championship. This triumph marked the dawn of the "Whoop That" Era, symbolizing Williams' rise to the top of NXT. He lost the title to Ethan Page in a Fatal-4 Way match
